I can't think of any other business that keeps a television running all the time. Businesses don't want their employees watching TV, and waiting rooms mostly have magazines. No restaurant has a TV because that would annoy the customers who want a quiet meal. If you must eat in front of a TV, eat at home.
I've never been in a business that was playing cable news on a television.

Hotels for one. I used to travel a lot for work and it seemed like every hotel had Fox News playing. However, I for one could care less and have nothing against Fox News. I've been to a couple tire shops, and yes, it's true the customer can control the remote, but I do remember one was on Fox News, the story (not the reporting) was pretty ridiculous as I recall... that's the only reason I remember. I've also seen hotels put on CNN. I stayed at maybe 20-30 hotels over 3 years, and nearly ever hotel had either CNN or Fox News on in the lobby. I will watch either news channel and think they both do fine.
